December 15, Mojave National Preserve

Well the nice thing about the truck is flexibility. We were originally heading towards Joshua Tree NP but a combination of the weather and some research about Mojave had us talking about going there. A couple of hours into the drive and some reprogramming of the navigator and we were heading towards Mohave National Preserve.

We arrived about 3:30 and headed towards the headquarters which is located in an old Union Pacific Railroad Station in a rail stop. We got some ideas for tomorrow and headed up into the mountains to a campground. We arrived at Hole in the Wall campground about 30 minutes before dark and had the place almost to ourselves.
